An almost year ago, I posted an entry about Konfabulator, the widget hanging on the desktop. Good thing I only used this for 30-day trial and did not pay in full. Until Mac OS X Tiger 10.4 released along with new Dashboard Widgets, and I am happy with this: fast, free and more customize than Konfabulator. You can take a look the captions on each widget in my Flickr.
There are over 650 Dashboard widgets found in Apple website, and every week the widget is getting cooler than I can imagine.
As you see widgets in my Dashboard desktop, each widget defines:
Bloglines Notifier - Allows you to see the number of unread posts in your Bloglines account at a glance.
